Description: One of the first "by black people, for black people" hip-hop clothing brands. Incredibly popular among suburban white teenagers in my high school (including myself.) We would "keep it real for the homiez" with the Karl Kanis (shirts, jeans, sweatshirts, boots). Also popular were brands like Cross Colours, Girbaud, JNCO, Timberland, and BOSS. Found at the Chess King and Merry-Go-Round stores in a mall near you. (1992-1995)

Clearly kitty you are racist and ignorant. Not all black people do not know how to speak proper English, and not all of the people who adopt the "language" as you put it are "making fun". In fact, it's been very well documented by non-blacks (which I have to assume you are as well)about the assimilation of things from the african american culture into the mainstream/prodminently white culture of this country. Using the terms, dances, etc. seriously, not as a joke. This started from the days of slavery and continues to this day. Read a book and educate yourself. In addition "you" (really your ancestors) have nothing to be proud of regarding what you claim to have "taught" the africans that came to this country. Again, read a book.

Yes those were the clothes with style..they need to come back with those threads cuz skinny jeans are so un-organized n look bumish to style..jeans like that are fir girls unless ppl that wrar em like being talked about, what happen to having RESPECT for yourself?
